For sure, I am not one to sell for rags... Be sure of that. I have already told them off, not interested... because I did not like the job title. But, they gave me the opportunity to reconsider on the grounds that I will be involved only with the CEO/CFO and board of directors, overseeing all aspect of this new joint venture financial departments and strategic development.

The CEO, actually came to Dubai, asking to meet me again to reconsider. But he did not want to spill the beans about salary, etc, that is a matter of HR.

Basically, this job is to lookout at the interest of Qatari's in a venture with TOTAL. I am not sure if I am allowed to disclosed this much because it is not yet release... I do not know anyone there, and not in a rush to sell my services for cheap.

I have this take it of leave it attitude. I hope this strategy works.
